Monday Miles: September 5-11

So yesterday, I planned a 15k run that somehow, weirdly, became an exhausting 20k trek. I blame the deceptive Leslie Spit, which is endless, isolating and when running it, you just can’t stop. Oh well. It makes me feel better about the upcoming half-marathon on October 16. I am terrified that this race won’t be faster than my last half-marathon. I’m also terrified that some of my half-marathoning newbies will beat me, and this will crush me. I am horribly competitive.

The good news? The 20k run put my total kms for the week at 48. Not bad, but it does make we want to break 50k this week. Which might be difficult, considering my dad is coming to town and book launch season is amping up. I smell some 6am wake-up calls in my future.

Here’s the plan for this week:

Monday: 5k (and attempt to calibrate my Nike+ AGAIN. This sensor hates me.)
Tuesday: 10k
Wednesday: off (two book launches in one night!)
Thursday: 10k
Friday: yoga (yoga didn’t happen last week. I doubt it will happen this week, either.)
Saturday: 8k
Sunday: 20k

This will put me over the 50k mark for the week, a milestone I hope to stick with until it’s time to taper.
